Are we beginning to see that the problem is the government itself, and not the particular party in power?

If you've read so much Rand that you believe that keeping a mining company from dumping lead and arsenic into your drinking water is just as evil as illegal spying and assassinations, maybe. Cuz gubbmit.

Sorry, fucker, if I didn't give you the whole history of this.

He's wrong because you don't know the meaning of the word "pedophile" and went the full Fox News at the same time? Is anyone who calls Reagan a Republican or Warren a Democrat also a fucker? I don't think so.

You engaged in 10-pounds-of-bullshit-in-a-five-pound-sack willful dumbfuckery and are now whining like a bitch because you got caught.

Live action is not an opposite to CGI. Live action is an opposite to animation (hand-drawn cels or computer generated)

And frankly, I am not so far from a reasonably large town

That would put you firmly in a rural area. They clearly called out that rural broadband availability is too low.

Just as going from Vista to XP was a performance and usability upgrade.

Read up on the Mason Dixon line and the formation of new states during the mid-19th century. And then come back here and tell me that isn't gerrymandering at the highest possible level.

.Net has Sitecore are Sharepoint. Java has AEM (which is what Typo3 tries to be) and several others. These of course are "enterprise" proprietary solutions, but just as easy to install and configure. I could spend hours talking about what a joke Typo3 is. The truth is that web CMS platforms use PHP because it is the defacto standard in shared hosting plans, just like most desktop games are written for Windows with DirectX.

which is why we just finished out our Vista roll-out last week!

It can be argued that gerrymandering senate seats directly lead to the Civil War.

Yes, blame the voters for refusing to vote for the dogshit-in-a-flaming-bag that has been served up by Democratic leadership since 2008. You think Obots could have started to get a clue after minimum wage increases and marijuana legalization passed in deep red states that sent Republicans to Washington.

Get some candidates that are to the left of Reagan's corpse and we'll talk, mmmkay?

Your bullshit. The imperial budget is as fake as the unemployment rate, because spending that is obviously military in nature - like the VA or the Department of Energy managing America's nuclear weapons - isn't counted as military spending.

Wow... Mr AC, you are missing so many aspects of Tesla. I don't disagree... they DO have style... but there are other aspects...

The P85D has a 3.2s 0-60. The "launch" as it is called is, literally, breathtaking... there are no jumps as you'd grind through gears on a standard transmission, and the only noise is a quiet hum. You are smashed into your seat with about 0.9 - 1.3G acceleration (depending on whose equipment you are using) for nearly the whole time. Yes, there are ICE vehicles that destroy that, but they cost ~$800+K. Please... someone show me a mass manufactured ICE for $140 that does that.

The car gets software updates for new features and functionality- most for FREE. Some for safety... a small concern with an isolated battery fire, and they retrofitted the fleet with titanium armor on parts of the battery pack. Yes, it is an armored car.

If you get the "tech package" option you can adjust suspension automatically. Bottom out on a parking ramp? Fix it once, the car will remember to raise itself via GPS the next time you are there.

The high end cars are all racing for autopilot... take a look at what Tesla has done. The street vehicles don't have all the parts, but the hardware is there, and they are getting closer each day.

See my comment above on the Supercharger network. Free power, at an obnoxiously high charge rate (up to ~120KW), at hundreds of places around the world. Road trips are no problem, without ever setting foot in a gas station.

And to your point the Model S qualifies for the highest end "Luxury" category of Uber in cities that do it (like LA).

Meh. Tesla sells every single car it makes and has a waitlist backlog months (or years for the M/X) long. That is with NO advertising. Whoopdy do, more eyes.

Additionally, Tesla has the (current) checkmate of the supercharger network. I know that likely won't be free to the M/3, but I assure you it does a great job of squelching range anxiety... something the other guys remain hobbled by.

And for the commuters... I welcome *ANY* (safe) electrical vehicle at any price range. We will fix the coal/gas power plants later, and it will be transparent. Lets get these ICE cars out of here. WAAAY too much energy lost in the ICE reaction. Especially for city driving, regenerative braking is a lifesaver... think of not only individual vehicles, but city busses... large vehicles ideally suited for high torque electrical motors, where regenerative braking can recover a lot of that.

That is the observation that gases or even more generally matter retains thermal energy.

That's ignoring the fact that CO2 as a greenhouse gas was observed over 150 years ago. Are you capable of saying anything on this topic that isn't right wing BS or deflection? Anything at all?

the results of McIntyre and McKitrick

A miner and an free-market economist. I'm sure they're very trustworthy scientists and not at all projecting on the issue of bias. Cuz reasons.
